On electric cars:
FDR didnt set a goal to half win the war, and JFK didnt set a goal to get halfway to the moon. If we are still selling gas cars in 2030, theyll be on the road for another 10, 15, 20 years
Does the Sunrise movement even understand the issues involved?

(15,325 posts)Honestly, Sunrise is no more than a political oppo movement to all things Democratic.
I watched a video of them marching for a "climate" cause.
I'd like to ask all those who carried plastic bottles of water where they think those bottles end up in our environment
Do the Sunrise kids know that the plastics to make their handy disposable water bottles are made from PETROLEUM PRODUCTS!!
THE showboating is one thing, The Hypocrisy is a whole 'nother giveaway.
Notice their targets are always "Establishment Democrats".
Because THIS is Waleed Shahid's game.
Waleed, Cenk, Kulinski, DSA, Sirota, Grimm...
Sunrise got nothin any other groomed cult has.
Momentum Movement is their cult tutor.

(15,325 posts)Just how to carry that sign & what to say & of course..how to pose for the camera feed that's being shot & edited & sent to social media & MSNBS, at Walleed's direction.
Sunrise is nothing more than targeted performance.

Waleed will tell social media who the Democratic target du jour will be.
His only absolute rule is to never ever praise a Democrat for a worthy policy or piece of legislation.
Always oppose, never ever applaud.
And if possible, jump out ahead to the waiting press with a pre-organized, self-promoting grandstand with cameras rolling, right before the Democratic policy makes it's announcement to the news.
Steal their credit.
Award yourself.
That is Waleed Shahid & his organization sitting far above the public eye.
The manipulators of populism, one may call them. Because that is what they do.
Oh ya, he hates the Jewish too, so there's that 🙄
That whole organization from top down, to Turner's big exposure in OH-11 is antisemetic.
That's what our Democratic Party is dealing with while patching together the ripping damage of those who saw a perfect opportunity to "Burn it All Down".
"Momentum Movement is as cult as it gets.
Sunrise is political bs.

(101,300 posts)You don't want the President and his party looking like the "extreme". This is about the Overton Window, people. You state clearly what the best outcome would be, and then get the centre of the electorate to move towards it, even though they won't go as fast as we'd like.

He got what he could. I don't think these Sunrise Movement kids understand not being catered to, or having to face real disappointment.
